Introduction

Ryter ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Ryter collects, uses, safeguards, and processes your information when you use our browser extension and related services.

We designed Ryter with a privacy-first, security-first approach. We aim to collect only the data necessary to provide you with a smart, seamless reading, writing, and research experience. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

1. Information We Collect

A. Personal Information (Account Data)

When you sign in to Ryter, we collect basic account information via our authentication provider (Supabase Auth with Google OAuth):

• Email Address: To identify your account, enable sync, and send important service notifications.
• Name & Avatar: To personalize the interface and display your profile in the sidebar.
• User ID: A unique identifier (UUID) generated by Supabase to associate your data.

B. User-Generated Content

To provide the core functionality of Ryter, we store the following user-generated content in our secure Supabase database:

Chat & Conversations

• Chat History: The conversations you have with the AI assistant, including your messages and AI responses.
• Archived Chats: Sessions you've archived for later reference.
• Chat Session Metadata: Session IDs, titles (auto-generated from first message), creation and update timestamps, source (sidebar, Telegram, etc.).

Bookmarks & Web Content

• Bookmarks: URLs, titles, descriptions, folders, tags (AI-generated or manually added), favicons, and date added from your Chrome bookmarks. Note: Ryter only has read-only access to your browser bookmarks. It cannot add, modify, or delete your local bookmarks. It uses your local Chrome bookmarks as the primary source of truth.
• Readlist Items: Articles and web pages you save to your Readlist, including:
  • URL, title, description
  • Full text content of the page (extracted via Mozilla Readability for offline reading and AI analysis)
  • Favicon URL
  • Read status (unread/read)
  • Creation timestamp
• Smart Search Metadata: For bookmarks and Readlist items, we collect metadata (such as AI-generated tags) to enable fast, intelligent searching across your library.
